How COP29 Will Impact India’s Climate Policy, Green Finance, and Clean Energy Future

The 29th Conference of Parties (COP29) to the UNFCCC, held in Baku, Azerbaijan, concluded with critical decisions centered on implementing the Paris Agreement. Dubbed the "Finance COP," the conference's primary focus was on operationalizing global cooperation mechanisms and establishing a new, ambitious climate finance goal.

For a rapidly developing economy like India, with ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and a Net-Zero by 2070 commitment, the outcomes of COP29 are not just diplomatic talking points; they are key levers that will redefine the country’s climate policy, green finance landscape, and clean energy future.

The two defining issues of the summit—the consensus on Article 6.4 rules and the agreement on the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on finance—will have the most direct impact on India’s climate strategy.

This comprehensive article examines what COP29 means for India—its challenges, opportunities, and strategic path forward.
